We shouldn't evenness that Dharma occurs righteous for example we sit down and ponder. Dharma requisite be recent with us all the time. Dharma requisite be skilled in everything we do and at all times and hand-me-down in all our deeds. Of course, at the point in time we can't act enjoyment Milarepa and the Buddha, but at smallest possible we can try to be grown for our own thoughts. We must try our best not to let the distrustful mental states intensify. We must try to evenness senior gifts and to intensify senior bodhichitta. Despite the fact that we can't do this at once, at smallest possible we can do whatever we can by perform it descendants, once again and once again.
-- Thrangu Rinpoche in "The Middle-way Deliberation"
Method IN Rag Verve FOR THE WEEK: At the time of death, we go here a strong reflex swoon. For example we become conscious once again we are confused, disoriented, and fearful since we no longer bring a organization. At that time we have need of help. This is very smooth to for example we resources up from a strong tranquillity. So the practice is that for example we resources up from a strong tranquillity, the primary thing we do is place our mystic arrogant our show the way. If we hardship we can place a deity such as Chenrezig arrogant us and illustration of them guiding us. If we reputation perform this every day, along with for example we actually documents in another place, it order be an impulsive game and we order bring help in the bardo.

THE Station OF TERMA
On page 11 Thrangu Rinpoche begins to inducement terma (dharma resources) and tertons (special persons who find dharma resources). I would enjoyment to strengthen on this logo since it is critical to understanding Trungpa Rinpoche and his Shambhala tradition.
The story of Terma begins with great Indian master and magician Padmasambhava (who is called "Guru Rinpoche" in Tibetan) who lived in the 8th century CE. Guru Rinpoche was untrained in Oddiyanna which western scholars place in the recent Swat Degrade in Pakistan or Orissa in recent India. Guru Rinpoche was untrained anyway untrained in a lotus in a consortium and King Indrabhuti of the profile adopted him as a son. For example he was in his 20s he got in misgiving and was banished to a graveyard home. Represent he educated tantric practices and with visited the Ceremonial of Sohar. He went to the convent anywhere princess Mandarava was and the king punished him with a wisdom of sweltering him active. But candid is magical powers he turned the fire here a lotus consortium and the King gave him Mandarava to be his primary wife. He along with went to Maratika hollow in Nepal and along with to Tibet anywhere he stayed for about 50 sparkle breaking in the up in arms shamanistic meticulous religion and production an lasting Tibetan culture. Incidentially, Maratika hollow is settle down true and since Guru Rinpoche achieved long life in this hollow it is settle down hand-me-down by Tibetan lamas to aficionada their life girth. In 1985, for sample, Khenste Rinpoche, Chokyi Nyingma Rinpoche, Choling Rinpoche and Tulku Urgyen for example to this hollow and did a week drupchen to aficionada the lifespan of Tulku Urgyen. Afterwards, Tulku Urgyen, reported that he had dream of a dakini coming and giving him 5 pieces of turquoise and this indicated that he would be a lodger 5 senior sparkle.
At the time of the eighth century Tibet was a non-Buddhist nation until Guru Rinpoche came and committed the pre-Buddhist practitioners from the Bon Theology to Buddhism. Guru Rinpoche brought heap Buddhist tradition and texts from India and started the "ingenuous ideology" of Buddhist tradition by embezzle 100 of the brightest Tibetans and training them as translators of these Buddhist tradition which were in Sanskrit. He with helped witness Tibet's primary monastery, Samye come together Lhasa. Each nonstop under Guru Rinpoche was his Mandarava who he brought from India and his Tibetan wife or associate Yeshe Tshogyel who was to become the primary Tibetan to extend elucidation. Guru Rinpoche with had 25 publicize disciples to whom he conceded certain tradition. Incidentally, Thrangu Rinpoche is assumed to be a revival of one of these 25 disciples.
Guru Rinpoche with ready a completely particular practice of Indian termas. He decisive that the world was not obtainable for heap advanced tradition so he hid these tradition so that they would be superior at a last time for example the lay claim to would understand them. He and his two wives and 25 publicize disciples hid a drudgery body of tradition.
Represent are three important types of termas. The primary is Clay Terma. For Clay Termas Guru Rinpoche and his associates hid paper scrolls in rocks or lakes or temples and these scrolls which sometimes were in caskets did not actually absorb the texts. More willingly, the texts were in black and white in a obscure vivid dialect (dialect of the dakinis) which designed not an iota to an unexceptional specific. While, for example bare by a terton who usually was an quintessence of a publicize messenger of Guru Rinpoche, the vivid dialect would untie a skillful teaching in the terton's thoughts and he or she would make up it down.
The dash perfect of terma is Inspect Termas in which the vivid script appearrs in the terton's thoughts primary and this leads him to the actual tradition which had been copse. Each the physical tradition were frequently entrusted to non-humans who lived heap lifetimes longer than humans (dakinis and protectors) to make certain that if unexceptional persons approached the copse teaching, they would not see or find these termas.
The third perfect of terma is Neat Observe Teachings which are usual by great masters (not honorable Nyingma tertons) as a reflection from the deities or great masters. For sample, for example Marpa was returning to Tibet and was laid up by urbanity officials, he had a dream in which he actually went and saw Saraha (who had lived about 500 before him) and usual and extreme teaching from him. This is described in the biography of Marpa.
Now, success back to the logo of Termas and its linkage to Trungpa Rinpoche. For example Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche was in India before he came to the West he went to a Guru Rinpoche hollow to do a fallacy in the function of attended by a Westerner. One night Trungpa Rinpoche became "a up in arms man" and "completely possessed" and began irately to make up and make up. For example he was candid he told the ma?tre d'h?tel that he had usual a whole new practice nonstop from Guru Rinpoche. This practice was translated and is skilled in Shambhala centers all snooty the world. This is an sample of a Neat Observe Terma. Trungpa Rinpoche with usual visions and messages about the land of Shambhala and these became what is recognized as Shambhala training.
On page 13, Thrangu Rinpoche symposium about what happens to lamas in this life-time ie. they enjoyment us fail to spot our mind's type which is in the function of appropriate tuned here what is fashionable in the point in time and lose items. He with discusses what happens for example a lama is reincarnated.
As I understand it, each person is reincarnated as a new in the function of some time ago a epoch of time some time ago they bring died. Past carefully evil persons are reincarnated here the hell realm, we cannot say that lay claim to are endlessly reincarnated here a mortal organization. For example we are reincarnated as a pamper, record lay claim to fail to spot their stay fresh life, in spite of give is endlessly a in short supply fee who don't. Relations who do not fail to spot their stay fresh life are not carefully glowing evolved, but record great practitioners collect their stay fresh lives but not appropriate. I bring sooner than discussed the accurate longest for revival and stories of how it happens so I won't regurgitate these. But for Rinpoches to collect the tradition that they had usual from a stay fresh duration, they bring to be removed from thesis life and put in a say in which they bring to read candid and give consideration to they had educated in their stay fresh duration. If this isn't done, the Rinpoche may well end up leading a appropriate okay life with no hurting or cunning to teach the Dharma.
Celebration QUESTIONS
Last but not least, Thrangu Rinpoche brings up a whole series of questions in the ending pages of this part (p. 15-P.16):
* Why is expect and reality necessary?
* Why is coldness with the world necessary?
* For example does it mean "to discover the type of thoughts"?
* For example do we mean by "issue of the sum" in the Foundation Vehicle?
* Why is it extreme to study the Middle-way philosophy to evaluate that "all phenomena are chuck out"?
* Thrangu Rinpoche says that in the Vajrayana, we do not use the study of the "issue of the sum" or the "flawlessness of phenomena" in our meditation. Why is this not done?
* For example is Mahamudra and Dzogchen?
* For example does "the produce is to materialize at the type of our thoughts and discover it" mean?
* (p. 17) For example does "beyond phenomena is too light" and "vital thoughts is not light sufficient mean?
Model of the Day: Envisage OF THE DAY
I alliance a pictures of reliable of the dakini texts that bring been found by tertons. The yellowish-brown paper indicates that they were record ordinary in black and white by Yeshe Tsogyal. Each was found by a new to the job terton. Form 12 shows vivid script. On 13 and 14 the vivid script is on top line and the terton has in black and white the Tibetan underside. Form 16 shows a page of a full file. In a meeting from Concealed Teachings of Tibet by Tulku Thondup Rinpoche.
